Regardless - the result is the same, a less-restricted flow of money from those who can afford to "purchase" a campaign contribution. The cycle of raise money/win election/raise money, continues at an ever increasing rate - the end result is a drowning out of the vox-populi as the whores we elect seek to 'optimize' their fund-raising efforts. Bottom line: Citizens United broke an already broken system and released the Kraken...

lol - handwavium is in short supply these days... If the content producers can't positively identify their own content as neither infringing or not, how do you expect outsiders to do that job for them?

So by your attitude no new directors or producers can make anything worth merit? Only those "blessed" by assholes like you are entitled to millions from the rest of us schleps??
No thanks - I'd rather watch rank "frauds, pretenders and poseurs" than anybody you've ever blessed...
I truly believe that "being old" is a state of mind. When you stop learning, and close yourself off to new opportunities for learning, then you have died. With that in mind - he is an old fool who has pissed all of his talent down the drain. Pete, I'm sorry you're old, bitter, and confused - the world has left you behind because you were content to rest on your laurels; now you are irrelevant and looking more and more foolish every day. Please, please don't destroy the memory I have of you - shut the hell up and get off the stage already!
no... but the point that you ignore so completely is the MPAA/RIAA tried to ban each of those items - after they had been introduced. So now the content industry is trying to do the same - to the internet. Enforce the laws we have - don't saddle us with this crap and make a huge swath of the internet "illegal" just because the OVERLORDS at the MPAA/RIAA or whatever, think that it should be.

Perhaps we were all wrong... the real driving force behind all the shitty "regulate teh internets" laws isn't the hollywood cartels.
No, I believe it is the law schools pushing all this crappy legislation so they can boost their enrollments.
